Even though Luke had a natural gift for the Force he still needed to learn the ways of a Jedi Master. He had to travel across the galaxy to find a mentor and train hard to meet his goals. If he hadn't been committed to learning and growing he probably would've gone back to Tatooine and wasted away in the bars of Mos Eisley.
Through mythology we learn, over and over, that a hero needs to overcome trials before they can succeed but this is something we all face every day if we're taking steps towards growth. We're not all fighting Sith Lords but we do wrestle with the demons that supply excuses and limit the loftiness of our goals. Smite them. Practice your craft daily. Five minutes is better than nothing. So what if you don't have all that time that you'd like? Make the most of the time you have.
Wishes and fantasies are great but they need action to make them happen. What do you want to master and does your effort match your expectations?
